Abstract
The Model of Human Occupation is used as a theoretical framework to evaluate a preschool child on an inpatient psychiatry unit, and as a guide for designing treatment. The therapeutic environment is reframed through the use of play to facilitate competent functioning. Literature on play and play environments is reviewed to highlight the success of this approach.
